This event allows both scoped and iron sights. Not all snipers used scopes, so this includes our eagle eyed friends.

1. Only military surplus rifles may be used. Bolt action or semi-auto. The rifle must have been issued by a military somewhere on the planet. Generally this means anything that's a C&R or antique and is a military rifle.

2.Sniper rifles may be scoped or you may shoot an with iron sights. There are, therefore, two classes for this postal shoot, Iron sights and scoped.

a. Scopes may be as originally issued, reproduction, or commercial as long as they are no better than the originally issued scope. For instance, on a Mosin Nagant, a 3.5 power
scope.

b. Iron sights that have been upgraded. For example, Smith Sights.

3. All shooting must be done at 100 yard, prone or bench. Slings are allowed. Full rest on bags is also allowed.

4.You may submit up to two targets per month, the best score to be your record target.

5. Winners to be announced after the end of September!

Course of Fire: 10 Shots for record on the target at the bottom of this post. You may use a military style sling in "hasty-sling" configuration. You may use a bag rest. NO Bench rests (Lead Sled and similar). You may take unlimited sighters at any target other than your record target from any position.

I plan on shooting this weekend, if the weather is willing.
I want to shoot my M16A1 clone again, it is at the gunsmith now and should be back to me by Friday.
nothing wrong with my firearm, he is looking at my org upper and getting some measurements off of it for a clone he is working on.

I picked up a nice Swiss 1911 a few weeks ago locally. Love those Swiss rifles! I was shooting Prvi Soft Points from a forearm rest with iron sights. I am going to try and find a taller front sight as she shoots pretty high or install my Swiss Products scope mount from my 96/11.

I finally got a chance to get to the range without all the hunters sighting in their deer slug guns. 32 degrees and a strong NE wind. Snow could be on the way. I fired some handloads and after getting the scope somewhat dialed in I shot a target. Problem was I only had 8 rounds left. This rifle is really fun to shoot!

I made 2 trips to the range this week during our cold snap. This time I had 10 rounds to fire at the target. Temps have been below zero for several days with the low being a brisk minus 20. Today got up to 10F.

I tried some Hungarian LB on this day and about 90% of the rounds were click-bang. With the fact that I tend to flinch a lot anyway and coupled with the click-bangs I am sure a video of me shooting would have been hilarious. Very cold windy day on an empty range. Just the way I like it.
